background
The July 7th Incident was deliberately created by Japanese imperialism to realize its ambition of annexing China, and it was the beginning of its full-scale invasion of China. It is a long-term policy of Japanese imperialism to invade China in an all-round way and establish colonial rule in China.
As early as the Meiji Restoration, while establishing the modern emperor system, Japan quickly embarked on the militaristic road of expansion and aggression, and formulated the so-called "mainland policy" with China and North Korea as the main targets of aggression. At the beginning of the 20th century, after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan replaced Russia, expanded its colonial power in the northeast of China, stationed the Kwantung Army, established the colonial organization "Nanman Railway Company", and used the northeast as the base for colonial expansion in China.
During the First World War, Japan used western powers to spare no effort to look eastward, trying to expand its aggression against China, sending troops to Shandong, coercing Yuan Shikai to accept the "Article 21" of Japan's attempt to annex China, and extending its claws of aggression to Chinese mainland. After World War I, Japan tried to get rid of the political and economic crisis by plundering China, North Korea and other Asian countries, and made a careful invasion plan at the "Oriental Conference" in 1927. 193 1 08 September 18, the Japanese launched the "September 18th Incident" and launched a surprise attack on the northeast of China, occupying the whole northeast in more than three months. The following year, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai (the 128 Incident), captured a large area of land in North China, threatened Ping Jin, established a pseudo-"Manchukuo" in Northeast China, and launched a so-called "autonomy movement" in North China in an attempt to occupy these areas for a long time. After 1936, the overall strategic plan "National Policy Benchmark" formulated by Japan, Japan held a "general officer exercise" to explain the war arrangements for launching a full-scale war of aggression against China to the general officers who participated in the exercise.
Since then, Japan has sent more troops to the northeast of China, dispatched elite Kwantung Army to Beiping and Tianjin, and frequently held military exercises to provoke and wait for an opportunity to wage war. 1On July 3, 937, tojo hideki, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, proposed to the Japanese government to immediately strike China, and then launched the July 7th Incident. On July 9, China and Japan reached an oral ceasefire agreement. But at the same time, the Japanese army took the opportunity to transfer more than 20,000 troops and 100 planes from northeast China and North Korea to North China. /kloc-in July of 0/7, the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army formulated the "Operational Guidelines for China when Exerting Force in North China", and the Japanese government decided to mobilize 400,000 troops in an attempt to destroy China by force.
1 On the afternoon of July 7th, 937, the Japanese North China Guard1The 8th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the United Front, led by Captain Masataka Shimizu, went to the area between Huilongmiao and Dawayao, which was close to China's garrison station in Lugouqiao. At 7: 30 in the evening, the Japanese army began to exercise. At 22: 40, the Japanese army claimed that gunfire came from the exercise area and a soldier (Shimura Kijiro) was "missing", and then forcibly entered the ancient city of Wanping, the garrison station in China. The 2 1 10 brigade of the 37th Division in 29 army, China refused. While deploying the battle, the Japanese army pretended to negotiate with China under the pretext of "artillery fire" and "missing soldiers". At around 24: 00, Jicha authorities received a phone call from Taihei Matsui, the head of the Japanese secret service in Peiping. Matsui said: Yesterday, the Japanese army was practicing outside Lugouqiao. When they heard the gunshots, they immediately stopped the team and found a soldier missing. The gunman suspects are China's troops stationed in Lugouqiao. They believe that the gunman has entered the city and demand an immediate search in the city. The Chinese side allowed Japanese soldiers to enter the city in the middle of the night, which may cause local unrest. While the Chinese officers and men were sleeping, the gunshots were not issued by the Chinese side, so they refused. Soon, Matsui called the authorities in Kyrgyzstan and said that if the Chinese side did not allow it, the Japanese army would forcibly search the city. At the same time, the authorities in Kyrgyzstan received a report from Lugouqiao, a garrison in China, saying that the Japanese army had formed a siege attack on the ancient city of Wanping. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, the authorities of Hebei Province, after consultation with the Japanese side, agreed to jointly send personnel to Lugouqiao for investigation. At this time, the "missing" soldiers claimed by the Japanese side have returned to the team, but they have not been reported. At about 5: 00 am on July 8, the Japanese army suddenly launched a shelling. China's No.5 29 army Command immediately ordered the front-line officers and men: "Be sure to hold the Lugou Bridge and the ancient city of Wanping", "Lugou Bridge, the grave of your class, will live and die with the bridge and cannot retreat." The 3rd Battalion of 2 19 Regiment, which guards Lugou Bridge and Wanping Ancient City, rose under the command of its head Ji Xingwen and battalion commander Jin.

After the Japanese army provoked the July 7th Incident, it aroused strong repercussions throughout the country. On the second day of the July 7th Incident, the China Producer Party Central Committee electrified the whole country and called: "All China compatriots, Tianjin is in danger! North China is at stake! The Chinese nation is at stake! Only when the whole nation conducts the war of resistance is our way out! " And put forward "don't let Japanese imperialism occupy every inch of China!" "The last drop of blood protects the country!" Loud slogans. Chiang Kai-shek put forward the policy of "not yielding, not expanding" and "not seeking war, but seeking resistance to Japan". Chiang Kai-shek once called Song and Qin Dechun (the second deputy commander of the 29th Army and the mayor of Beiping) and others, saying that "the ancient city of Wanping should stick to it" and "Lugouqiao and Changxindian must not be lost".
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, China's * * * production party immediately electrified the whole country and called on the whole nation to resist Japan. Chiang Kai-shek also delivered a speech on solving the Lugouqiao Incident on July 17, 2007. The Lugouqiao Incident kicked off the national War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
On July 17, 2007, Chiang Kai-shek made a speech in Lushan, pointing out that "the Lugouqiao Incident has reached the last moment of concession" and "there is no chance of compromise. If we give up our land area and sovereignty, we will be sinners of the Chinese nation. " 29 army, who fought bravely against the enemy in the Battle of Lugouqiao, was warmly supported by all walks of life in the country. People from all over the country have organized groups to send letters of sympathy and gifts; Students from Peiping and Tianjin organized field service groups to rescue the wounded and transport ammunition to the front; Residents in Lugouqiao area send water, meals and military supplies to the troops; Changxindian railway workers quickly built air-raid shelters and dug holes in the walls to help the army stick to the ancient city of Wanping; The Overseas Chinese Federation also called for encouraging 29 army to make persistent efforts. After the July 7th Incident broke out, the Japanese attack met with stubborn resistance from the China army. Seeing that the attempt to occupy the Lugou Bridge could not be realized, the Japanese army played a conspiracy of "local negotiations". On the one hand, they wanted to bring China to heel through negotiations, on the other hand, they wanted to buy time for sending troops in the name of negotiations.
Edit the continuation of this paragraph.
1 1,1On July 9, 9, the agreement reached between the Japanese garrison in North China and the Hebei authorities was proved to be a dead letter by the intermittent gunfire of Lugou Bridge. "On-the-spot negotiation" won the Japanese army time to send more troops to North China, but it blinded the attention of Hebei authorities, delayed the preparation of 29 army's troops deployment, and brought great harm to the anti-Japanese war in Peiping and Tianjin. By July 25th, more than 60,000 Japanese troops had assembled in Peiping and Tianjin. After the deployment of Japanese troops in North China was basically completed, in order to find a new excuse for further launching the war of aggression against China, the Langfang Incident and the Guang 'anmen Incident were deliberately created on July 25th and 26th.
On the afternoon of 26th, the defenders in North China issued an ultimatum to 29 army, demanding that all defenders in China withdraw from the Peiping-Tianjin area before 28th, or they will take action. Song Yan refused, and on the 27th, he issued a declaration to protect the country and defend the country against Japan. On the same day, with the approval of the Emperor, the Japanese General Staff Department ordered the Japanese North China Guard to launch an attack on 29 army, and transferred about 200,000 people from five divisions from China, and issued a formal combat mission to the commander of the North China Guard to Yueqing: "Responsible for crusade against the China army in Ping Jin." A bloody battle between Tianjin and Hebei is inevitable. China's army then rose up to resist, wiped out the golden road, and the strong men hated the country.
On the morning of July 28th, the Japanese army launched a general attack on Beiping as scheduled. At that time, the headquarters of Kiyosuke Qingye had assembled in the 20th Division of the Korean Army around Peiping, and the Kwantung Army was independently mixed into two brigades: 1 and1. The infantry brigade of China Army stationed in the station is about 10000. Under the cover of 100 cannons, armored vehicles and dozens of planes, we headed for Nanyuan and Nanyuan in the western suburbs of Beiping. The first batch of 29 army soldiers stood up in their respective stations and wrote an unyielding battle song. Nanyuan is the focus of the Japanese attack. More than 8,000 people of the 29th Army stationed in Nanyuan (including more than 65,438 people+more than 0,500 military training students trained in Nanyuan) fought bloody battles. Tong, the deputy commander of the first 29 army, and Zhao Zhuanglie, the division commander of 132, died, and many students of the military training regiment also gave their young lives in the battle.
On the night of 28th, Song left Beiping, and on 29th, Beiping fell. In the early morning of 29th, Zhang Qingyu, the captain of Jidong Security Team 1 Corps, and Zhang Yantian, the captain of the Second Corps, launched an uprising in Tongxian County. Anyway, they fought against Japan, killed hundreds of people, including the head of Tongxian secret service, and captured the traitor Yin Rugeng alive (later escaped).
On July 29th, 29 army 38th Division, led by Li Wentian, the deputy commander, launched the battle of Peiping and Tianjin. The 38th Division attacked the Japanese army in Tianjin Railway Station and Guang Hai Temple, and captured many people. However, it was bombarded by Japanese planes and suffered heavy casualties, so it was ordered to retreat. On the 30th, Tianjin fell.
The influence of editing this paragraph
After the July 7th Incident, Japan mobilized almost all its military forces and began an all-round invasion of China.
The July 7th Incident was the beginning of China's comprehensive War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and China opened the first large-scale anti-fascist battlefield in the East. * * * Countries cooperated for the second time, and the anti-Japanese national united front was finally formed; The Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.
Edit this evaluation
In the 1930s, fascism became the public enemy of all mankind, and the main contradiction in the world changed from the hegemony struggle of imperialist countries in the First World War to the contest between fascist forces and anti-fascist forces. With the increasing alliance between Germany, Italy and Japan fascists, the Versailles-Washington system established after years of hard work has collapsed, the order of the international community has lost control of international treaties, and fascist aggressors can almost do whatever they want. By 1936, the fascist countries are about to launch a world war.
1937 in July, the Japanese fascist group, after full preparation, flagrantly launched the July 7th Incident, which escalated the local war provoked in northeast China six years ago into a full-scale war of aggression against China, and took the lead in igniting the Second World War in the east of the world.
After the July 7th Incident, Japanese imperialism stepped up its aggression against China, which not only threatened the survival of the people, but also directly threatened the life and death of the Chinese nation. The China National Government was completely disillusioned with Japan's remaining illusion of peace, and Chiang Kai-shek made a positive response to the idea of establishing an anti-Japanese national united front put forward by China Producers' Party.
The unprecedented anti-Japanese national United front fully embodies the idea that "national consciousness is above everything else" and has produced great national cohesion at the critical moment of the current enemy. The national crisis has awakened the Chinese nation, which has been sleeping for nearly a hundred years, and the ruthless war has educated the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. All people in China, from coastal areas to inland areas, from cities to remote areas, have been mobilized.
The anti-Japanese national salvation movement of the whole nation rose rapidly and was in full swing. Japanese imperialism is facing the unprecedented awakening of the Chinese nation, so it is doomed to perish and the Chinese nation is beginning to revive day by day. The fire near Lugouqiao ignited the anti-Japanese flame of the whole Chinese nation, which pushed China into a new historical period.
The people of China United as one and fought against the brilliant achievements of Japanese fascism, which swept away the image of China's poverty and weakness in the past century and won a great victory against foreign aggression for the first time.
After the July 7th Incident broke out, the whole Chinese nation was awakened unprecedentedly, and the national spirit and national integrity were revived, which was the fundamental force for China people to persist in the eight-year war of resistance and finally defeat Japanese imperialism.
Today, in the 2 1 century, this great national spirit deserves special cherish and development. It has been 70 years since the July 7th Incident broke out, but the ghost of Japanese militarism still lingers, and the extreme right forces in Japan are trying to reverse the case of the war of aggression by various means. All peace-loving and justice-loving people in China and the world should be on high alert. Remember the past, the teacher of the future, only by respecting and facing up to history can we win the future.
Editing this "July 7th Incident" for 70 years.
There are only six veterans reunited at Lugouqiao this year.
China News Service, Nanjing, July 4th (Reporter Ding Meisun Xiangming) Today, Li Hongbin, a witness to the July 7th Incident and a veteran of the former 29th Army of the Kuomintang, left Nanjing for Beijing to attend the reunion of the witnesses to the July 7th Incident in Lugouqiao. Nanjing Folk Anti-Japanese War Historical Materials Exhibition Hall held a forum to see the elderly off. At the same time, the organizer announced that the "Guowei" charity event for caring for anti-Japanese war veterans kicked off, and a series of nationwide activities to visit anti-Japanese war veterans were officially launched.
At the symposium, Hong Bin, an old Li Man, recalled the tragic scene of the battle and the heroic sacrifice of countless comrades-in-arms, and could not help but burst into tears. He said that the twenty-nine army veterans who participated in the Lugouqiao Anti-Japanese War, the youngest is 88 years old, and the oldest is 106 years old, with less than 40 people in the country, and their physical condition is not very optimistic. Hong Bin, an old Li Man, told reporters many times: "Fifty years, sixty years, seventy years, there is no next decade (that is, the eightieth anniversary)."
"I came to the meeting today, not just me, but on behalf of the martyrs and comrades who died in Qian Qian. I came to the meeting with a sense of mission. I hope that more people from all walks of life will pay attention to the anti-Japanese war veterans and remember the spirit of the anti-Japanese war! " Although Wang Chuying, an 85-year-old veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, is not a veteran of 29 army, he also came to participate in the public welfare activities of caring for veterans in Guowei.

July 7th, a day bearing the humiliation, indignation, blood and glory of the Chinese nation! ! !
On July 7th, 7 1 years ago, the Japanese army shelled Wanping County and attacked Lugou Bridge, and the Japanese all-out war of aggression against China broke out. On the ancient city wall of Wanping ancient city, the bullet holes left by Japanese shelling are still clearly discernible.
After the July 7th Incident, the Japanese aggressors clamored for the destruction of China within three months. China has fallen into an unprecedented national disaster and is in a crisis of life and death.
7 1 years ago, the war of aggression launched by Japanese imperialism caused countless disasters to our people! ! !
Since the Ming Dynasty, Japanese invaders frequently invaded the southeast coast of China. I still remember that Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese invaders and remained immortal. In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Beiyang Navy was completely annihilated ..... and finally arrived at 1937. This year, a series of major events such as "Japan's full-scale invasion of China" and "Lugouqiao Incident" were printed on the dusty calendar. We will never forget Nanjing, which was soaked with blood. There are moans of lonely souls everywhere, and those demonic smiles are outrageous!
Of course, I don't deny that under the international situation and pattern of 2 1 century, it is necessary for us to rise to be a big country and not be surrounded by "hostile countries" and go global. The question is, is there a premise?
This premise is that the devil sincerely apologizes and gives action. Unfortunately, I haven't seen this kind of "goodwill" from the devil so far!
To borrow a sentence from historian Guo Tingyi: Remember history and lessons, commemoration is not to continue hatred! Commemoration is to preserve a true history. "Denying history is extremely harmful"! -Because: "Forgetting is never a virtue."
We cannot forget that in the 70 years after the Meiji Restoration, Japan launched and participated in 14 wars of aggression, of which 10 was a war against China. 1in July, 927, the Japanese Tanaka Cabinet proposed at the "Oriental Conference" that if you want to conquer China, you must first conquer "Manchuria"; If you want to conquer the world, you must conquer China first …
We can't forget that after the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, it carried out a bloody massacre in Nanjing. During the most violent six weeks, * * * killed more than 300,000 compatriots and 1 10,000 women in rape 2, and plundered countless cultural relics and property, which is known as the "Nanjing Massacre" in history.
1937 12 13, Nanjing fell and more than 300,000 people in China were massacred. While killing wildly, the Japanese army also raped women and carried out large-scale robbery, burning and destruction. The cruelty of its means and the brutality of its behavior are outrageous. This bloody history is the darkest page in the history of modern civilization, and it is a shame that everyone in China should not forget. This disaster is the eternal pain of the people of China and the shame of all mankind. In a sense, its nature is more serious than the massacre of Jews by German Nazis in World War II. After all, the Nazi Holocaust was a party killing a nation, while the Nanjing Massacre was a nation killing another nation.
Don't forget: the rogue old Japanese don't admit that they invaded China at all! Ignorant Japanese young people don't even know that they invaded China! ! Shameless militarists said it was an honor to be a comfort woman at that time! ! !
Remembering history is a familiar slogan. But more often, these four words are just a slogan. How to activate the memory of history is still debated in China today.
